World of Warships offers players a smooth progression by introducing new content step-by-step. These milestones are represented by Account Levels in the Service Record under the "Profile" tab in the Port screen. By accumulating experience in battles, captains also raise their Account Level and unlock new opportunities as well as rewards. Below is a list of the most important milestones currently available in the game. More features, game modes, and content will be added to the game with time. Keep any eye out!

Account Level 1

Account Level 8

Reaching Account Level 8 grants players the ability to queue up for Scenarios.

Rewards for top performance include camouflage, flags, commanders, and even Premium time!

Account Level 9

Once they have achieved Account Level 9, players are able to participate in Campaigns. Campaigns are long-term projects in World of Warships, as players choose a certain number tasks to pursue at a given time in order to continue progression towards unlocking additional rewards. Completing each task likewise awards credits, flags, Free experience, and more!

Attaining Account Level 10 grants players the ability to mount Signal Flags on their ships. Signal Flags are earned via the Achievement system, and are expended when used. Many of them provide significant buffs to experience and credits earned in battle, with others granting small buffs to ship performance.

Account Level 11

Experience required to advance to next level: Reward for achieving this level: 100x Type 5 Camouflage

A player's reward for unlocking Account Level 11 is the ability to mount camouflage on their ships. Camouflage provides a variety of bonuses, from reductions in spotting range, to additional credit earnings, to additional experience for the ship and commander at the conclusion of battle.

Account Level 12

Experience required to advance to next level: Reward for achieving this level: 24 hours of Premium Account time

Once they have reached Account Level 12, players have access to Missions and Challenges. These provide additional rewards above and beyond those attained through regular battle, and vary from additional credits or experience, to earning a brand new ship just for playing the game!

Players wishing to experience the challenge of Team Battles must first attain Account Level 15. Once they do, they'll have the ability to create teams from their friends and fellow players, then queue up as a group to challenge others on their server's Team Rating leader boards.
